  • Pick two evenly matched teams, assign attackers. Mark a lane down the middle of the court the same width as the goal circle. Up to 7 players from the attacking team space out evenly inside the lane. The defensive team create a zone defence by dividing up the space.
  • On 'go!', (A) near the post shoots, rebounds their own shot/goal, then pivots and waits for (B) to present.
  • (A) passes to (B). Defenders are allowed 2 steps then 1 jump only to intercept per turn.
    Attackers should be able to find space given defenders limited mobility
  • (B) lands, pivots and waits for (C) to lead, before passing to them.
    Remember, all defenders are allowed 2 steps then 1 jump to intercept
  • The ball is worked down-court in this fashion until the last attacker receives the ball.
    If a turnover is achieved, return the ball to the attackers, and restart from the other end.
  • Now attackers work the ball the other way, back up-court.
    Last attacker initiates with shot and rebound.
  • After travelling up-and-back, change the defenders and attackers; repeat.
  • Progression: Allow defenders 3 steps plus a jump and intercept, per turn.
